The establishment of vegetative filter strips (VFSs) on the ends of rill- or furrow-irrigated crop fields has proven to be an effective best management practice (BMP) to lower the suspended sediment and soluble nutrient load originating on irrigated farmland. However, these reductions can only be achieved if the VFS is fully established before the crop irrigation season begins. This portion of the WSU Extension series on VFSs provides tips on establishing VFSs.
